Skiing Pals Heading To US Special Olympics
Updated : Feb 1, 2009
Best friends Charlie O'Reilly and Ben Purcell are all set to fulfill their lifelong dream next week when they don the Irish jersey at the Special Olympics Winter Games in Idaho.
The boys, Charlie (13) and Ben (14), who were both born with Down Syndrome, have proven themselves as natural talents on the slopes since being brought to a skiing club as kids.
Now in their teens, the two fiends will jet off to the US as part of the Irish team and show the world how to really ski.
VeryHappyPig is rooting for you, lads!!
